was supposed to keynote a small graduation celebration event this week. For months it's been on my calendar for Saturday. Today, even with potential #Ramadan brain, we caught that the organizers made a mistake and it's supposed to be on Friday. Crisis averted. — PolitiTweet.org

So tonight as I was at Tarawih, I was grateful for the community that’s looking out for itself, the local allies who have expressed support, the volunteers and private security who are alternatives to the state’s security apparatus, and for the conviction to keep praying. — PolitiTweet.org

Underneath it all though, before being a CAIR Executive Director, I too am just an American Muslim. The security at my mosque impacts me personally. — PolitiTweet.org

Allies must understand their unique positioning to help. They can both talk to their own people about not being racist or Islamophobic and they can support directly impacted communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Community members should be encouraged to lean in to their faith. No harm comes to us except if God wills it, and if He does, it will come to us at the masjid, in the street, or even at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Masjid leaders need to take every precaution possible and be cognizant of how their privilege may impact their decisions. For example, calling the police doesn’t make all of their congregants feel safer. — PolitiTweet.org

My work at CAIR requires that I track the worst of news, advise on precautionary measures, and still somehow figure out how best to frame the message for different audiences. — PolitiTweet.org
